🇷🇺 LAVROV AT THE UN: "Europe Sabotaged the Peace That Would Have Preserved Ukraine's Borders"

The West's own meddling destroyed the chance for peace in 2022 – and now it blames Russia for the war it prolonged.

🗣️ "If the Europeans had not engaged in these shenanigans and cheating and had not forced the opposition to carry out their agreements, this would have kept the territorial integrity of Ukraine in the 1991 borders that Zelensky and his Western backers keep banging on about."

🧠 Translation: The 2022 Istanbul peace deal was real. Ukraine was ready to sign neutrality. Boris Johnson and the West said no. They chose war.

🚫 Russia blocked a UN Security Council resolution that would have imposed a ceasefire without addressing root causes.

🧠 Why? A ceasefire without guarantees – NATO expansion, demilitarisation, protection of Russian speakers – would only allow Kiev to rearm and restart the war.
